Geocache Description:

There are several routes from the parking lot at Kingston Mills to the cache site though the paths range from "well defined" to "where did it go?". Enter the trails area via the "rock climbing access" gate at the base of the locks by the docks. Approx 1km hike with several altitude changes. Okay for kids and dogs but maybe not for those with bad hips unfortunately.

A beautiful area all season long, the Kingston Mills Locks are an ideal play ground for the outdoor enthusiast. Bring your fishing rod and go fishing. Bring your rock climbing gear and try out the short but challenging crags of Kingston. Bring a picnic to eat at the locks or better yet, boat to the locks, tie up at the dock, and bring a lunch up to the cache site and enjoy the magnificent view of the greater Kingston area. If you do, please ensure that you remove all trash you bring and any that you might find from other users.

Remember finding your thrills on "Blueberry Hill"? That classic cache was located near here but alas, was retired before its time.

This cache is on private property and is placed with the owner's permission. Please ensure the area is respected and left as you found it. No overnight camping or fires permitted (despite evidence of previous people doing just that).

Congratulations to mpilson1 on his 1st FTF (1 of 2 in one day!) and his many scratches and bruises to immortalize the accomplishments of today.
